It is not the first time Trump has been criticised for making inappropriate comments about his daughter. During a TV interview on The View back in 2006, Trump infamously said: “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

The president also has a controversial history when it comes to speaking about women more generally, which erupted during his election campaign when old audio tapes emerged of him bragging about “grabbing women by the pussy.”
